#220346 — NAS software for Raspberry Pi that supports full range of client OS (Win-10, MacOS-X, Linux) ?

The covid-19 situation is giving me lots of free time recently, so I've ordered a Raspberry Pi 4 with delivery expected sometime this week.

I'd like to use it for a NAS for the home network, so my family can share files without resorting to sneaker-net.

We have a full range of clients -- Mac, Win, Linux (mostly debian, but also CentOS and Ubuntu) and I'd like to be able to serve all of them if possible.

Can anybody suggest a good NAS package? Debian based is preferable, but almost any Linux will do.

I've been looking at Rockstor but I don't see anything there that will run on a Raspberry Pi.

Anybody using something they have had good experience with?

Thanks in advance,
Rick

I find a combination of plain vanilla Samba and nextcloud do me quite
well.

Hi Rick

You could try openmediavault. It has an iso for the raspberrypi, and 
comes with a smb, ftp and ssh system preinstalled, so serving all kinds 
of client os's should be no problem. It also has a webgui, and has a few 
plugins to add webdav for example.

This was a good one, Gene :)

But lets give the youth a chance :)

Vincent, when I open http://vincentlammens.net it redirects correctly to
https://vincentlammens.net/en and opens, but as Gene noticed
https://vincentlammens.net does not work at all.

Oops ;) Didn't notice
that it said https, as it indeed does not work. Thanks for letting me

Thanks, Vincent.  That looks very interesting.  Are there plugins to handle NFS (for Linux clients) and AFP (for Mac clients)?  Or (since both of them do speak SMB, whatever it's limitations) is SMB/ftp/ssh considered sufficient for all?

Enjoy!
Rick

Is this something I could use to ease my support burden in trying to 
supply an rpi4 version of LinuxCNC?

As it is, I am building it and its preempt-rt kernel on the pi, but have 
to jump thru perms hoops to move those builds to this machine for 
interested folks to download and use them. I have apache2 running in a 
perms sandbox. If I could make the build result on the pi available 
directly from my web server on this machine, it would be helpfull.

Apache2 that is. I assume I'll have to setup the web page on the pi to 
serve the stuff up first? I haven't done that yet. Thereby divorcing it 
from sshfs etc?

Thank you Vincent.

I'd assume that I could put the pi files in the same sandbox? Thats 
somewhat confusing because www-data doesn't exist as a user on either 
machine. But it works on this amd64 machine, but a chown doesn't work on 
the pi.  Humm, pi is not a member of www-data on the pi, but I am on 
this box.  Bears investigation because if I add pi to that group, both 
are then user 1000. And thats not a warm and fuzzy feeling. Looks like I 
need lessons on sandboxing.

Thanks Vincent.

Well, with a root shell laying around, I have a workaround that moves the 
files fairly rapidly, so I'll need an excuse to raise the priority.  

Don't hold your breath as I've other responsibilities here like being a 
caregiver for my missus of the last 30 years whose now dying of COPD, 
and its down to me to handle all the i/o that entails.  The older I get, 
the better I was syndrome. :) And I'd like to ignore that my list of 
replacement parts has pretty well filled my card case. OTOH, theres a 
looooong list of BTDT's, some of which might even be interesting if 
shared over a beer.

I hosted services from home many years ago.  My bandwidth was very 
quickly consumed and connectivity became a major problem.  Now I use 
domain hosting and VPS services.

Whereas I installed the 16 inch gun version of bot killers, iptables.  It 
has taken 65 lines of DROP's in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/24 to 
control the bots but I seem to be doing that well now, and my net 
bandwidth has dropped like a rock, was peaking at >100g a month but now 
theres room for me a get a packet in edgewise if someone wants a ready 
built preempt-rt kernel and ready to configure for their hardware but 
bleeding edge LinuxCNC for their rpi4. But while I am adding rules, 
they'll move the bots to get away from people like me. They don't want 
to understand that if they want to mirror my site, they can pay me for 
the bandwidth used. Index it yes, mirror it daily, no.

Now its about tied with incoming email. And the folks who want my stuff 
can get it at the upload rate I'm paying for. Nominally 300k/second.

I was wondering if you have considered using VPN?

I have but setting it up looks rather daunting.

I read it as VPS too.  You can get a low-end VPS quite cheaply ($2 to $10
per month, I believe), and moving your hosted content offsite can be a
major relief for your local bandwidth.

A quick Google search for "cheap vps" right now confirms the $2/month
low end price.  The one I got several years back is $6 a month.

I've never known enough about web server security to dare to run a site
on my own server. I've always used a small amount of hosted web space
elsewhere, and given somebody else the job of not getting hacked.

The downside of that is that one of my former hosts has been taken over
by another company, the web hosting was dropped but the server still
remains connected, so I have a ridiculously out-of-date set of pages
still up, that neither I nor anybody else are able to remove. The
copyright notice of 2007 is a clue to anybody finding it, which is at
least unlikely as it is accessible on a URL that I haven't published
anywhere for twenty years. But it's still there, I've just looked...

Running multiple file sharing services against the same backing store 
sounds like a recipe for disaster.  Different operating systems and 
different network file sharing protocols make different assumptions 
about file system features and how to implement translations to foreign 
file systems.  Even fundamental stuff, such as user and/or group 
identification, binary vs. text mode,  end-of-line character sequence, 
permissions vs. attributes, file locking, etc., often require imperfect 
compromises on the client and/or server.  Things get even more complex 
as you add more features -- access control lists (ACL), file and dataset 
properties, snapshots, clones, file flags, securelevels, security 
policies, etc..


I use Samba alone for my SOHO file server.  If/when I want another 
protocol, it will have its own backing store.

Thanks for the pointer, Charles.  It looks very interesting.  Nextcloud sounds like it does exactly the kind of thing I was hoping for.

Can you explain a little bit about how "plain vanilla Samba" fits into the nextcloud picture?

It doesn't, really. I had Samba running just fine long before I tried
nextcloud. When I realized that nextcloud stores files as binary blobs
in an SQL database, I decided that I prefer Samba (or AFS or NFS....),
where a file is backed by a file. I do use the nextcloud file server
for smaller files, and leave the big ones on Samba.
